Finely Praise.

t5lve praise where praise is due and
when it is que. Few people realize the
widely different effects produced BY
nging into prominence the good OF
bad points of q mans character. To
do the former stimulates his powers,
encourages him to make fresh efforts,
inspires him with hope, and payes the
way for correction Of faults. To do the
latter depresses the nature. produces
gloom, despondency and fear, and
actually Weakens the very powers
which are needed to battle with the
wrong. just as the wise physician,
oy bailding up the general system and
establishing the healthful discharge of
| functions, does far more to eradicate
disease than he could by any direct
efforts upon the disease itself, so the
cheerful encouragement of all that is
good in the character of a man will be
more etfectual in restraining faults than
any direct attack on the faults and
errors themselves. r ~. -. !
There is one form of praise which is
specially acceptable and even more
beneficial at times than direct words of
approval. 1t is that tacit trust and
confidence in the honor or the good in
tentions of others which, while leaving
them free to act, inspires . strong
desire in them to deserve the
trust reposed. No one who has tested
the power Of this confidence will ever
undervalue it. The teacher in his
school, the employer with his men, the
parent in the family, will assuredly
reap as they sow in this respect. II
they are suspicious, even watching for
de:elictions of duty and standing ready
to detect and denounce them, they will
6nd a plentiful crop. If, on the other
hand, they take it for granted that those
under their charge are truthful and
honorable, and in the main desirous of
doing right, always treating opposite
conduct as exceptions to the rule, they
will instil an earnest desire to prove
worthy of the good opinion thus held.
So strong tendency is there in man to
justify the opinion entertained of him
that it frequently only needs continual
repetition of any charge to make it
really true!
The child who is always suspected
and accused of dishonesty may be pro-
voked to be dishonest; he who is always
taunted with being dull, or awkard, or
selfish, may soon be incapable of over
coming these tendencies. If, on the
other hand, he be respected and trust
ed. he will insensibly prove his just
claim to those considerations, and the
correction of his faults will be COM
paratively easy task.
He who seeks for and emphasizes the
good in others is not only blessing and
improving them. hut himself also. Envy
is thus laid low, all the more amiable
qualities are brought out, the habit of
giving happiness is in itself joy, and
the manifest benefits thus conferred are
fully shared by the giver. It seems a
little thing to praise what we admire,
to utter the pleasant things we feel,
and to cherish spirit of trustfulness;
but could we only know how often fail
ing energies are thus refreshed, despon-
dency chased away, hope and enthusi-
asm inspired and love and confidence
established we should hasten to embrace
so simple, so delightful and so effectual
means of doing good

The warm weather has debilitating effect,

STOLEN LANDS GOOD PROPERTY

STOLEN LANDS GOOD PROPERTY.
The decision of the Supreme court OF the
United States in the case of the Colorado
| Coal and Iron company is not encouraging to
those who hoped to see recovered the public
lands which have been fraudulently acquir-
| ed. Some years ago the land involved in this
case-about ten thousand acres-was pre-
| empted in Las Animas county, Colorado, in
| the names of sixty or sixty-one fictitious per-
sons. The government received about $12,-
| 900 tor the land, which was afterward mort,
gagged for $3.5O0.0OO.
In 1880 the government brought suit against
the company, asking that the patents be declar-
ed void and Cancelled. 1t was charged that the
| series of transactions had been a conspiracy
to obtain possession of these valuable lands
| by means of fictitious pre-emption entries;
| that no such persons as the alleged pre-emp-
tors had ever lived in Colorado or settled on
| the lands; that the names of both the pre-
| emptors and their witnesses had been fcti-
tious, and that the fraud had been eonsum-
| mated through the connivance OF the local
| land officers. The company denied that it
| had any knowledge of the frauds, and main
tanned that it had been an innocent purchaser
for value. Judge McCrary, of the Circuit
court, decided the suit in favor of the United
States. An appeal was made, and now the
Supreme court has reversed this decision.
1t holds that fraud was proved sufficient
| as against those perpetrating it, or those
claiming under them with notice of ito
| justify the cancellation of the patents, but
that it was "not such a fraud as prevents the
passing of the legal title by the patents" In
| other words, the fictitious pre-emptors could
be required to give up the land if they still
held it and could be found and were in ex-
! istence, but the company cannot be disturbed
in it's possession of the same property. More
over, it is held that it was not shown that
Call the alleged pre-emptors" were fictitious
persons, and that the proved frauds do not
| show that the land officers were guilty of con-
Rivance
This seemed like very clear case of fraud
when it was revealed in the Circuit court
| But it now appears that there is no way of
| getting this and much other stolen land back.

In your issue of yesterday I see commu-
nicalion from a gentleman who signs
himself "TownBorn, jr." He evident
1y labors under the Misrepresentation
that the fact of a person being born in our
city gives him the right to call himself town
born.
I should like to disabuse him of his error
by stating through your valuable columns
that the claim to the title of tewn born can
only be asserted by q citizen whose ancestors

GIRLS WHO COURT BEAUTY

How Some Women Preserve Their
Good Looks-ExercIse Does Much.
From the Ssn Francisco Postl
The handsomest woman I ever saw was
one who took great care of her health.
When I knew her she was over thirty, but
no girl of sixteen that I have ever seen had
roster cheeks or brighter eyes. Of course
she was naturally fine looking, but the atten-
tion she gave to matters of hygiene added to
and preserved her beauty. What did she
do2 1 don't know that can recount all, but
1 remember her telling me she took sponge
bath every morning; was particular about
the ventilation of her apartments; took long
walks when she could; ate but little meat,
much fruit and cereals whenever she could
get them. Another thing she did which
she tried without success to get me to do,
she drank her coffee without milk or
cream, diluted with water.
The reason she took her coffee so was
because her physicians told her it was
healthier to drink it in this way. Wheth-
er the practice added to her personal
charms or not I don't know. On the
whole she was certainly repaid for her sys-
tematic habits, and as certainly there was
nothing arduous about the performance of
them. Nor was there anything bizarre
| about them, it seems to me there is
| about the following account I read of a
| Chicago belle: ''To keep the suppleness of
| her figure she stands one hour daily, ff-
| teen minutes at time, with her hands on
| her hips before a long mirror, and bending
| her knees out from each other she sinks
slowly down to the floor as low as possi
| bic, then as slowly uprising, meantime
moving her arms in any direction to their
utmost length, out up, forward or
| back, until when she stands erect they are
ready to be placed on her hips again
f'Each movement is repeated, every time
a little accelerated, until at the end of
| thirteen minutes it is done quickly, and a
| fine color is i'll her cheek. She then lies
down on perfectly fat couch, without a
| pillow, until her breath comes smooth and
| regular, as it will in the two minutes left
| in her quarter of an hour. When she plays
| good deal of tennis she cuts down her
exercising one-half" OF course the benefit
| to be derived from this procedure is not to
| be questioned, whatever may be thought OF
| it besides. It is easy to her whole
| body thus receives good exercise, adding to
| the grace of her own form, beautifying heI
complexion and making her stronger and
| healthier.
